Personal Werk.

On a cold winter evening l made my
first call on a rich merchant in New
York AS l left his door, and the
piercing gale swept in, ! said: " What
an awful night for the poor!" He went
back, and bringing TO me roll of bank
bills, he said: "Please hand these, for
me, to the poorest people you know"
After few days wrote to him the
grateful thanks of the poor whom his
bounty had relieved, and added; How
is it that man so kind to his fellow
creatures has always been so unkind to
his Savior as to refuse him his hearth"
That sentence touched him to the
core. He sent for me to come and talk
with him, and speedily gave himself to
Christ. He has been a most useful
Christian ever since. But he told me
that | was the first person who had
talked to him about his soul in nearly
twenty years. One hour of pastoral
work did more for that man than the
pulpit effort of life-time.-Dr. II. L.
Cugler.

Begin at Once.

Begin at once to do whatever your
Master commands. Begin to practice
religion. A child never would learn to
walk by hundred talks about the law
of gravitation; it must use its own feet,
even at the risk of many tumble.
Wait not for more feeling, or more
pungent convictions, or for anything
that you read of in other peoples eX-
periences. These are all snares and
hindrances, if they keep you from
doing at once the very first act that will
please Christ. Have you never opened
your lips to an unconverted friend,
either to avow your own feelings or to
do that friend some good? Then try
it; you will strengthen yourself, and
may bring an unexpected blessing to
him or her. In short, you must begin
to obey a new Master; to serve new
Savior; to strike out new line of liv-
ing, and rely on Gods almighty help to
do it. When you give yourself to
Christ in this whole-hearted and prac-
teal fashion, he will give you a thou
sand-fold richer gift in return. Yes, he
will give you himself! When you pos
sess Christ you have everything.-Dr.
T. L. Cuyler.

A Sweet Theory.

People are beginning to realize that
the maple sugar season is rapidly APP
preaching. l expect a prolific one,
both for flow of sap and the quality of
the product, and believe the season is
made up largely the summer and fall
preceding. If the wood makes an
abundant growth the previous season
and there are no early frosts to kill the
leaves before the new wood hardens,
and The sap natures before the leaves
fall, good sugar season follows; but
if the growth of new wood is scauty,
and the quality of the sap is damaged
by the freezing of the leaves before
they ripen, no amount of favorable
weather will insure an abundant sugar
harvest, nor will the quality be up to
the standard, no matter how much pains
are taken during the process of manu-
facture. have arrived at this conclu-
sion from an inductive process of rea-
soning. The exceedingly unfavorable
season of 1882 led me to this thought,
and close observation for the past five
years seems to indicate the correctness
of the premise. l should like to hear
from others on this subject. George
Williams, IN Homestead.

lieve, and the strong arm of the law
should make short work of those strikers
who gather, armed with clubs, brick
bats and revolvers, to prevent men
from doing their desired and legitimate
work. And we believe the same should
be true if a conspiracy drives family
to the verge of starvation, as the me-
chanic instances in case of the cigar
maker. We want what we can earn,
and do not want to be deprived of a
good part of that to support some other
fellow who can't or won't do as much,
and we do not want to be supported by
some ADLER, smarter fellow, as long as
we can work. When we can't there's
a way provided. How do you feel
about it?

Terrible Pain and Distress

That had to give up my Homework and

the time, and could not get from my bed to

intense distress. Things went on this way
for several weeks. | continually grew

tain work they followed him and pre-
vented him from getting il. The con-
sequence was that he and his wife
nearly starved to death, until they went
back to the union and begged on
their knees to be forgiven for what they
had done; and mind you, what they had
done had been to eat rolls that had
come from boycotted bakery.-ET-

HARTFORD, Ct, April 4, 1851
Nearly two hundred painters, compris-
ing two-thirds of the workmen of that
trade in Hartford, went on strike this
morning. The Master Painters Asso-
citation had made a new schedule, call
ing for ten hours, with graded pay from
$500 down to 1926, according to the
ability of each man. The workmen
demanded uniform rate of $3.50 for
every man for nine hours work; that
all non-union men be refused employ
ment, and that an apprenticeship sys-
tenn be adopted, with one apprentice
for each ten journeymen. The master
painters have thus far refused confer
ence with committee of the Painters
Union, and claim that they will not
abandon their position on the ten-hour
and graded pay matters. The only
large shop which has agreed to the de-
mands is that of j. G. Britton.-Special

WEAKNESS.

Is there end to WEAKNESS in life2
To all this ceaseless and tumutuous strife
That, from the very cradle to the grave,
Appals the hearts Of cen the strong and brave2
Is there an end to this anxiety
That haunts us hour by hour and will not leo7
Or are we made to mourn through day and night,
To walk in shade and never in the light?
Is there an end to losses and to pain2
And will there come time when naught but gain
viii follow all our unremittng toll,
And when no foe shall force us to reco2
Is there an end to this dull dreary mode
OF life? Or must our feet still press the road
Leading through places dangerous and dark,
Where scarce an eye discerns shining mark?
Nay, do not look for perfect peace and restl
A life Of noble conflict is the best
And chivalry will win brighter crown
Than we could gain by casting burdens down.

A Question of Economy Very Easily
Decided.

In the fertile valleys of Northern Yer
mont are many valuable farms, the fine APP
pearance of which bespeak the industry,
thrift and successful management of their
owners. One of the best farms in the
charming little town of Cabot, nestled
among the hills branching from the Green
Mountains, is owned by Mr.. Roswell Laird,
who is widely known as successful farmer,
and is highly respected by all who know
him. Mr.. Laird and his good wife have a
very high opinion of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and with excellent reason which you will
fully appreciate after reading her state
ment, which follows:
In the spring, year ago, had an at
tack of brain fever, and got better so as to
be able to do my work. Then, in the fall, /
had an attack of sickness come on, which /
could not account for, and which puzzled
the doctors. 1t began with uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach, which increased

it is so different from any and all other

peculiar in the wonderful cures it has ac-

history of medicine, and giving to Hood S

Mrs Langtry is telling some interesting stories
about Joaquin Miller. She describes In one OF
them reception given in her honor In London
where he appeared in red flannel shirt and top
boots, and strewed a pOcketful OF rose-leayes on
the door before her. MI. Miller was probably
putting the traditional British love OF fair play to
severe test red flannel shirt and top-boots at
an evening party may not have been all that
etiquette required, but they were practically no
worse than the tweeds or corduroys worn at
American entertainments on more than one
occasion by English touriSts-and without the
saving grace Of pocketful OF rose-leayes. A
spirited American policy towards England is the
order OF the day, and red-sh1rted Joaquin may
De viewed as In the nature of retaliation or re-
Spouse.

one OF the items In the District Of Columbia
appropriation bill is forty thousand dollars for
country roads and suburban streets The Com
missioners started in four years ago to macad-
annie to the District line the three principal
roads leading 10 the city from the north, known
as the It'll street. Tenleytown and Bladensburg
roads, and have since that time spent from SO 900
TO $4,000 year on the work. About $4,000 or
$4,000 more Is required to complete It, The bill,
as it passed the House, contains the usual appro-
priatOn Of $4,000 for all sorts of work on country
roads with the prOyiSO that the three roads named
shall first be completed from this sum. Meantime,
parties representing the Bennings and AnacOstia
roads are calling for help. A road is to be con-
structed 10 connect with the new Pennsylvania
avenue bridge, when built. One hundred and
twenty-five miles OF other country roads are badly
out OF repair. Within the last two years several
miles square Of ground adjoining the city have
been purchased, laid out and sold In lots; large
number OF houses have been built, and more are
10 be built as soon spring opens It is repre-
sented that as much as 100000 has actually
gone into these Investments within a snort period
These parties complain, with apparently good
cause, that no provision Is made for opening or
recognizing the miles OF streets they have laid
and In many instances improved at their own ex-
penSe.
Leaving out the Massachusetts, avenue extern
sion, which has attracted large amount Of atten-
ton, it Is evident that the appropriation In the bill
Is wholly Inadequate. The Commissioners esti-
mated for $4,000; and that amount does not
seem too large TO meet the immediate necessities
Of the case.
